Yom Kippur Eve

"This Yom Kippur Eve in the ghetto is unique. In the apartments, people are cooking in big pots, as if nothing is the matter. People are washing and scouring (as if everything around them were normal)."

~~ from The Last Days of the Jerusalem of Lithuania: Chronicles from the Vilna Ghetto and the Camps, 1939—1944 by Herman Kruk
